RURAL TV Heads South for Flagship Agricultural Society Event

London, 8 June 2009 – RURAL TV, the world’s rural channel, reaching into more than 10-million UK homes on Sky Channel 279 and Freesat 403 is headed south this June 11 thru 13 for the South of England Agricultural Society’s (SEAS) flagship event of the year, the South of England Show.  
The ever-popular show, which kicks off this Thursday, is unquestionably one of the most highly acclaimed dates in the agricultural world’s diary. The three-day show, put on by the SEAS, never fails to provide the very best in family entertainment, animal-events and agricultural heritage ideals. RURAL TV, a thoroughly unique, innovative 24-hour, international, multi-media source for rural lifestyle, farming, equestrian and country music entertainment, is joining SEAS at this year’s show in order to further enhance the traditional values associated with the annual South of England Show.

As “The World’s Rural Channel” RURAL TV is committed to bridging the gaps that exist between rural issues and rural entertainment.  RURAL TV is dedicated to seeking out informative programming and content that is both useful and educational.  RURAL TV provides programmes that offer perspective on the multifaceted and diverse sides of country living. Launched in March 2009, RURAL TV has been an incredibly well-received and welcomed addition within the UK’s agricultural and rural communities.  Recently, RURAL TV helped England’s famous Royal Bath and West Show attract more than 155,000 visitors, a near record attendance.

Among this year’s star attractions at the South of England Show, held at the South of England Centre in Ardingly, West Sussex, will be the famed Royal Signals White Helmets Motorcycle Team.  Composed of 30 volunteer soldiers from the Corps, the team performs incredible feats of balance, death-defying crossover rides and outstanding acrobatics on their signature British Millennium Triumph 750cc motorcycles.  

Dan Kripke, VP and General Manager of RURAL TV in London, UK, said of the upcoming show, “RURAL TV is very honoured to be involved with the SEAS in bringing the South of England Show to an ever-expanding viewership.  We’ll be on the grounds of the show throughout the entire event to meet with our viewers and find out more about the issues that are near and dear to our rural audience”
